  • 5Amazing Tour in Pompeii

    Well worth the money, do not visit Pompeii unless you do a private tour. The tour gave us great information, we would have missed so much without it.

  • 5Don’t miss tour

    Roberto was the best. We have done a lot of different tours and his depth of knowledge was outstanding. Roberto gave you a great understanding of not just the historical site but also life in Pompeii. You are missing out if you don’t hire Roberto. Money very well spent.

  • 5A great private tour.

    Teresa was a fantastic guide. Really knowledgeable and genuinely seemed to love the ruins of Pompeii and the ancient history of the area. Well worth paying for the extra for a private guide for our family.

  • 5Great private tour of pompeii

    Our guide was eager to customize the tour for the things we wanted to see, and she adapted very well and helped us squeeze as much out of Pompeii as was possible in three hours.

  • 5Great tour!

    Our three-hour tour of Pompeii with Teresa Sandretti was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy! Teresa was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about Pompeii and its history. Her enthusiasm really brought the ancient city to life, and she shared so many fascinating details that made the experience truly memorable. She was punctual, organized, and very attentive to our group throughout the tour. Because of the heat and the amount of walking, Teresa made sure everyone was comfortable and took our pace into consideration. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Teresa and would highly recommend her to anyone visiting Pompeii. She made an incredible place even more special!

About Pompeii

Pompeii is a Roman town near Naples frozen in ash when Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79, with streets, villas and frescoes preserved beneath the volcano.

Pompeii was a thriving Roman town when Vesuvius buried it under ash and pumice in AD 79. Excavation, begun in the eighteenth century, has uncovered paved streets with stepping stones, shops, bakeries, bathhouses and the forum. The amphitheatre, among the oldest Roman ones to survive, and the grand House of the Faun show the range of life, and plaster casts of the dead record the final moments of some residents.

Top-ranked sights in Pompeii: Pompeii Archaeological Site, Stabian Baths (Terme Stabiane), Via dell’Abbondanza.
